As shellfish farmers, we are in business with Mother Nature. A vibrant and healthy ecosystem is key to our success. Growers are environmental stewards, ever watchful for potential pollution and constantly monitoring changes in the marine ecosystem. Clean water and environmentally sound farming practices produce the finest quality shellfish in the world. Members of PCSGA are committed to the policies intended to protect and preserve the health of the environment in which they work.
PCSGA’s Environmental Policy is based on five principles that assure farming practices have the lightest touch on the estuarine ecosystem. We want to ensure future generations can grow shellfish, just as previous farmers have before them.
